Equipment

To receive any of the Freeview services you will require a set-top box and attach this to your existing TV set. Most new set-top boxes available in the shops today come with the option to plug the audio output of the box to your existing hi-fi setup. This allows access to radio stations without having the TV switched on.
If you are considering buying a new TV, you may like to think about buying an integrated digital television with Freeview combined. This requires no additional set-top box. Less wires, more choice.
